I just bought a boat with a non running atomic 4 for $2000. Turns out besides a clogged up carburetor, it had a weak spark.

The cause of the weak spark was a that the points were badly misadjusted.

Points gap as way too far open for spark to build up enough to fire correctly.

New carb.
Adjusted points.

Motor runs sweet.
